Hi,
I have recently changed my location history saving preferences from until I delete to 18 months, by doing this I lost my points is there any way to get the lost points back, although I have already changed the setting of location saving to the defaults, until I will delete it manually which was set before.
I was not aware of this, please help me in getting the lost points back which were more than 1000 points and it was earned from 2,3 of using Google maps.
Thanks,
Umair Shahid
Hi @Umair901
Welcome to Local Guides Connect.
I am sorry to hear , but there is no way to recover that points which has been lost. For example, Google cannot keep a copy of that data, if you delete your history. Because this would be a violation of the rules of protecting your privacy.
You can read more about that on this article: How do I delete my answers to questions on Google Maps?
Hello @Umair901
While doing so, that has also deleted the answers to the questions.
There is no way to recover that.
To avoid that, please change the setting to until I choose to delete.
And, wait for opportunities to answer the questions on getting a notification if you are an Android phone user.
Nevertheless, you can also invoke the questions by clicking on any place in your retained timeline. You may get a prompt "know this place? Tap on that and do the needful.
As @KashifMisidia has answered your question quite adequately, @Umair901 , I have marked his reply as the solution.
